Algebra.Com's Answer #364851 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let f(x)=x^2+x+14. What is the value of f(x) for which the tangent line to the graph of y=f(x) is parallel to the x -axis? \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "f(x)=x^2+x+14 \n" ); document.write( "- \n" ); document.write( "slope = 2x+1 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Parallel to the x-axis means slope = 0. \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "2x+1 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "x = -1/2 \n" ); document.write( "=========== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "=========== \n" ); document.write( " |
